By default, `darcs whatsnew' uses Darcs' internal format for changes. To see some context (unchanged lines) around each change, use the --unified option. To view changes in conventional `diff' format, use the `darcs diff' command; but note that `darcs what‐ snew' is faster. ... darcs diff [file|directory]... The `darcs diff' command compares two versions of the working tree of the current repository. Without options, the pristine (recorded) and unrecorded working trees are compared. This is lower-level than the `darcs whatsnew' command, since it outputs a line-by-line diff, and it is also slower. As with `darcs whatsnew', if you specify files or directories, changes to other files are not listed. The command always uses an external diff utility. ... 146613 2 imz 2014-05-19 04:21:30 +0400 Also the Cyrillic letters in the output of "darcs whatsnew" generate soem strange garbage around them on dumb terminals: $ echo world > world.txt $ darcs add world.txt $ darcs wh | cat addfile ./hello.txt hunk ./hello.txt 1 +[_<U+00D0>_][_<U+0097>_][_<U+00D0>_][_<U+00B4>_][_<U+00D1>_][_<U+0080>_][_<U+00D0>_][_<U+00B0>_][_<U+00D0>_][_<U+00B2>_][_<U+00D1>_][_<U+0081>_][_<U+00D1>_][_<U+0082>_][_<U+00D0>_][_<U+00B2>_][_<U+00D1>_][_<U+0083>_][_<U+00D0>_][_<U+00B9>_][_<U+00D1>_][_<U+0082>_][_<U+00D0>_][_<U+00B5>_] addfile ./world.txt hunk ./world.txt 1 +world $ Perhaps, this are the colored highlighting for these codes (they are printed red)... but this garbage doesn't appear around other highlighted text; for example, above the words "addfile"and"hunk"are printed in blue in a terminal. 146662 3 imz 2014-05-25 15:15:40 +0400 Reported upstream: * http://bugs.darcs.net/issue2389 * http://bugs.darcs.net/issue2391
